Pump-It-Up

"Mooooom, I want a snack!"

I hear this common statement about 15 times a day.

Which means I cringe every time I hear it.

Now I see why my mom ignored us when we called her name or sometimes responded by saying...

"She's not here!"

So to slow down the snack-attack that seems to appear 10 minutes after breakfast is done, I've adopted my sister's attempt at beefing up breakfast.

2 ideas to VAMP-UP those boring pancake mixes:

#1: add 2 mashed bananas, 1 regular oatmeal packet, a dash of cinnamon

(or use the flavored oatmeal packets and omit the cinnamon)

#2: add 1 cup of apple sauce, 1 regular oatmeal packet and a dash of cinnamon

We absolutely love these hearty breakfast starters!! You'd be surprise that the oatmeal seriously disappears!!

I'll have to try this, cereal is just not cutting it.

Wait a minute...you actually MAKE breakfast? Don't tell my kid!

We have 2nd breakfast at our house. Cereal with dad, and then yogurt, eggs, or a banana about an hour later.
